Eric Dane reveals in his posthumously-released new memoir “My Book of Days: A Memoir in Moments” that he fought with Josh Duhamel on the set of “Las Vegas,” the NBC series that Duhamel headlined opposite James Caan for five seasons between 2003 and 2008 (via Entertainment Weekly). Dane was a guest star on the show in Season 2 and filmed his episode while dealing with a herniated disc in his neck. As a result, he asked Duhamel to go easy on him while filming a fight scene.
\n\n“We’re about to film a fight scene. I ask the lead, Josh Duhamel, to please not grab me by the tie during the scene. He promises me he won’t,” Dane writes. “The director calls ‘Action,’ and Josh pulls on my tie. Fire rips through my neck. I go, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, we have to stop.’ He apologizes, I grunt from the pain, and then, take two. He pulls on my tie again.”
\n\nAfter two takes of Duhamel pulling on hist tie, Dane turned to a producer on set and warned him: “You better rein in your boy.” Duhamel then apologized for not listening and explained that he “got caught up in the moment.”
